Happy Tuesday Bloggers! It's sew cold in NY. It was 2 degrees this morning when I left for work but the good thing is we didn't get the 8-12 inches they had anticipated we would get yesterday so for that I am grateful. Weather like this just makes me want to stay home and sew my little fingers away. This weekend I worked on another bali strip quilt I was commissioned to make for a co-worker of mine. He loved the purple bali quilt (See my posting on Feb7th) I made sew much he wanted one for himself in manly colors of course. I helped with the fabric choice and he loved the River Rocks Bali Strips. I am hooked on making this style quilt now. The top goes together in about an hour and a half and the results are stunning. I will be adding borders to his but I have to go hunting for border fabric to match as well as flannel backing as my client requested. Here are the results so far. I love it and sew did he!

After taking a picture of the bali strip quilt I realized I had made my son a quilt about 3 years ago with very very similar colors. Sew I put them together and WOW! I love the two together. Sew yes that means I will be making another one exactly like this for my son.
